DO GOOD— FOR THE SA&SATH SCHOOL.
1. Do good! do f»oodI we are never too young
To be useful in many a way ;
For all have a heart, and a hand, and a tongue,
To leel, and to labor, and pray.
Let us think., when crowds of poor children we
meet.
All thronging their pathways of (rloom.
That in every damp al!ev. in every dark street,
Taere's a passage that leads to the tomb.
Chorus. — Then do goofl, &c.
2. We '11 seek in that passace that wandering llirong.
An 1 tatip them in Invp bv the hand ;
With kin'lness reo^i'-B them, with music and song,
And guide lo '" venly land.
Rev. C W. Denisox.
If we have but a moment, that moment employ.
To pluck the young brands from the flame i [joy.
We may change their deep guilt to a Christian's full
And save them for ever from .«haine.
CJwrus. — Then do good,. &c.
What joy, what joy will the lea^t of us know,
When called to our Father's abode.
To find that beside us in glory there stands
Some whom we first placed on the road!
Then seek in the highways .ind byways of earth,
And bring in the lowlv lo feast :
Remember, in heaven ihe trre^test m-.iy he
The one who on eartn wa*; lln' leahi.

So that when the Saviour calls them.

1. A rooit, «:iyf.irinfj man of grief
Hit'.ti often cro-ibfd me on my way,
Who s;ie<J so humbly for relief.
That I could never answer Nay.
J had not power to ask Ills name,
■Whither hi; went, or whenee he came,
Yet ilifre was something in his eye
That won my love, 1 knew not why.
2. Once, when my scanty meal was spread,
He entered ; not a word he spake ;
Just perishing for want of bread,
1 gave him all ; he blessed it, brake,
And a', e, but. gave nie part agatn.
Mine was an angel's port. on then ;
And whde I fed with eager haste.
The crL!.<t was manna to my taste.
3. I spied him where a fountain burst
Clear from tlie rock ; his strength was gone
The heedless water mocked his tliirst.
He heard it, saw it hurrying on.
I ran an'l raised the sufferer I'lp ;
Thrice from the stream he drained my cup,
Dipped, and returned it running o'er,
1 drank, and never thirsted more.
4. 'Twas night ; the floods were out ; it blew
A wintry hurricane aloof;
I heard his voice abroad, and flew
To bid him welcome to my roof.
I warmed, I clothed, I cheered my guest ;
Laid him on mine own couch to rest ;
Then made the e.xrth my bed, and seemed
In Eden's garden while I dreamed.
5. Stripped, wounded, beaten nigh to death,
I fonnii him by the highway side ;
I roused his pulse, brought back his brerth,
Revived his spirit, and supplied
"Wine, iiil, refreshment, he was healed.
I had, myself a wound concealed :
But, from that hour, forgot the smart,
And peace bouuU„'ik my brokea heart.
6. In prison I saw lam next, condemned
To nieel a traitor's doom at morn ;
The tide ot lying tongues 1 stemmed,
And honored him 'niid shame and scorn.
My friendship's utmost zeal to try.
He asked i( I for hun would die ;
The flesh was weak, my blood ran chill.
Bit.* tbe free spirit cried, " 1 will."
7. Then, in h. rpoment, to my view
The strange; started from disguise ;
The tokens in his .'lands 1 knew ;
My .Saviour stood before my eyes !
He spake, and my poor name he named;
'' Of me thou hast not been ashamed ;
These deeds shall thy memorial be :
Fsar not ; thou did'st it unto me."
Tune, Windham. L. M.
1. Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of thee !
Ashamed of thee whom angels praise.
Whose glories shine thro' endless days.
2. Ashamed of Jesus I sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star :
He sheds the beam of light divme
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
3. Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
Mol when I blush, be this my shame.
That I no more revere his name.
4. Ashamed of Jesus I yes, I may
When I've no guilt to wipe away;
No tear to wipe, no good to crave ;
No fear to quell, no soul to save.
5. Till then— nor is mv boasting vain-
TiU then 1 boast a Saviour slam!
And o'l! may this my glory be.
That Christ is not ashamed of me.

1. Behold a stranger at the door ;
He gently knocks — lias knocked before,
Has waited long — is waiting still —
You treat no otlier friend s« ill.
2. Oh! lovely attitude— He stands
With melting heart and loaded hands ;
Oh! matchless kindness — and He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes. ■
3. But will He prove a friend indeed ?
He will — the very Friend you need:
The Fri'.-nd of sinners — yes, 'tis He,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4. Rise, touched with gratitude divine.
Turn out His enemy and thine ;
That soiil-ilestroying monster, sin,—

1. Say, sinner 1 hath a voice within
Oft whispered to thy secret soul.
Urged thee to leave the ways of sin.
And yield thy heart to God's control.
2. Sinner! It was a heavenly voice, —
It was the Spirit's gracious call ;
It bade thee make the better choice.
And haste to seek in Christ thine all.
3. Spurn not the call to life and light ;
Regard, in tune, the warning kind ;
That call thou may'st not always slight,
And yet the gate of mercy find.
4. God's Spirit will not always st'ive
With iiardened, self-destroying man;
Yli who persist His love to grieve,
May not hear his voice again.
5. Sinner! perhaps, this very day.
Thy last accepted time may be :
Oh ! should'st thou grieve Him now away.
Then hope may never beam on thee.

1, See thi; kind Shepherd, Jesus, stands
With ill-engasiiiK charms ;
Hark ! how he calls the leader lambs,
And folds them iu his arras.
t. Permit them to approach, he crios.
Nor scorn their humble name ;
For 'twas to bless such souls as tbese.
The Lord of angels came.
3. He'll lead as to the heavenly streams
Where living waters flow ;
And guide us to the fruitful fields
^7here trees of knowledge grow.
4, The feeblest lamb amidst the flock
Shall be its Shepherd's care ;
While folded in the Saviour's arms
We 're safe from every snare.
rujia, Woodstock. C. M.
L I LOVE to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care.
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2, I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear ;
And all his promises to plead
When none but God is near.
3, I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore;
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4, I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter .scenes in heavon;
Thf prospect does my strength renew
While bore by tempests driven.
5, Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er.
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
▲ad Uuid to endless day.
Tune, Hasville. C. M.
1. Tikshe's not a tint that paints the rnso.
Or decks tlie lily fair ;
Oi- streaks the humblest flower that bl(?ir%
But God has placed it there.
2. There's not of grass a single blade.
Or leaf of loveliest green.
Where heavenly skill is not displayed,
And heavenly wisdom seen.
3. There's not a star whose twinkling light
Shines on the distant earth.
And cheers the silent gloom of night,
But Heaven gave it birth.
4. There 's not a place on earth's vast round.
In ocean's deep, or air.
Where skill and wisdom are not fonnd.
For God is every where.
5. Around, beneath, below, above,
Wherever space extends,
There God displays his boundless love,
And power with mercy blends.
Tune, Avon. C. M.
I. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
111 a believer's ear !
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
2. It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And ca'ms the troubled breast;
'Tis maiiua to the hungry soul.
And for the weary, rest.
3. By thee my prayers acceptance gain.
Although with sin defiled ;
Satan accuses mo in vain.
And I am owned a child.
4. Jesus, my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

L I WAS a wanderina; sheep,
I did not love the fold ':
I did not love my Father's voice,
I woulii not be controlled,
I wai a wayward child,
I did not love my home,
I did not love mv Shepherd's voice,
1 loved afar to rojun.
2. The Shepherd sought his sheep.
The Father sought his child ;
They followed me" o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild ;
They found me nigh to death,
Famished, and faint, and lone ;
They bound me with ihe bands of love,
They saved the wandering one.
3- Jesus, my Shepherd is,
'Twas he that loved my soul,
'Twas he that washed me in his blood,
'Twas he that made me vvhole.
'Twas he that souglit the lost,
That found the wandering sheep,
'Twas he that broue;ht me to the fold,
'Tis he that still doth keep.
4. No more a wandering sheep,
I love to be controlled ;
I love my tender Shepherd's voice,
I love the peaceful fohi ;
No more a wayward child,
I seek no more to roam,
I love my heavenly Father's voice,
I love, I love his home.
Tune, Lebanon. S M. Double.
1. How beauteous are their feet,
Who stand on Zion's hill !
Who bring salvation on their tongues.
And words of peace reveal.
How charmms; is their voite !
How sweet their tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Saviour King,
He TQigas and Iriumphs here."
3. now happy are onr ears,
Th.it hear the joyful sound.
Which kings and prophets waited for,.
And sought, but never found.
How- blessed are our eyes.
That se '^is heavenly light [
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
2. The watchmen join their voioe.
And tnnefiil notes employ ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy !
O God, make bare Thine arm
Through all the earth abroad ;
Let every nation now behold
Their Saviour and their God.
Tunf, Lebanon. S. M. Double.
1. I WANT a heart to pray.
To pray and never cease ;
Never to murmur at Thy stay,
Or wish my sufferings less.
This blessing, above all, —
Always to piay — 1 want ;
Out of the deep on Thee to call.
And never, never faint.
2. I want a true regard,
A single, steady aim, —
Unmoved by threat'ning or myvard.
To Thee and Thy great namel
A jealous, just concern.
For Thine immortal praise,
A pure desire that all may learn
And glorify Tiiy grace.
3. I rest upon Thy v/ord.
The promise is for me ,
My succor and salvation, Lord,
Shall suj"ely come from Thee ,
But let me still abide.
Nor from my hope remove.
Till Thou my patient spirit guide
Into Thy ijerfect love.

1. Now br! the gospel banner
In every laTid uiif'Tled;
And be the shout, llosannal
Re-ech»e(l through the vorld:
Tin every isle and nation,
Till every tribe and tongue
Receive the great salvation,
And jolu the happy throng.
2. What though the embattled legions
Of earth a.i^, iicll combine?
His arm throughc iH their regions,
Shall soon resp -.ndent shiae;
Ride on, O Lord, ■. ictorious;
Imraanuel, Prin eof Peace,
Thy triumph shall be glorious ;
Thy empire shall increase.
3. Yes, thon shalt reign forever,
O Jesus, King of kings ;
Thy light, thy love, thy favor,
Each ransomed captive sings;
The isles for thee are waiting,
The deserts learn thy praise ;
The hills and valleys greeting,
The song responsive raise.
Tune, Missioif AET Hymn. 7s <fc 6s. Double.
1. To Thee, my God and Saviour,
My heart exulting springs.
Rejoicing in thy favor,
Almighty King of kings ;
I'll celebrate thy glory.
With all the saints above,
And tell the wondrous story
Of thy redeeming love.
?. Soon as the morn ivith rosea
Bedecks the dewy east,
And when the sun rsposea
Upon the ocean's breast,
My voice in supplicatfen,
Jehovah, thou shalt hear.
Oh I grant me thy salvation,
And to my soul draw near.
8. By thee, through life supported,
I pass the dangerous road.
With heavenly hosts escorted
Up to their bright abode ;
There cast my crown before thee.
My toils and conflicts o'er,
And day and night adore thee—
What can an angel more ?
T\ine, Webb, 7s & Cs. DoaMe.
1. Go when the morning shineth.
Go when the moon is bright,
Go when the eve declineth,
Go in the hush of night ;
Go with pure mind and feeling.
Drive earthly thoughts away,
And, in thy closest kneeling.
Do thou in secret pray.
2. Remember all who love thee.
And who are loved by thee;
Pray, too, for those who hate tbee.
If any such there be ;
Then, for thyself, in meekness,
A blessing humbly claim.
Arid blend with each petition
Thy great Redeemer's name.
3. Or if 'tis e'er denied thee
In solitude to pray.
Should holy thoughts come o'er thee,
When friends are round thy way,
E'en then the silent breathing.
Thy spirit raised above.
Will reach his throne of glory,
■\Yhere dvellB eternal lowt.

O yes ! for in his word
He liiJs me come and seek
The GoJ whom Samuel heard.
In almost every page I see
The God of Samuel calls to me.

And every sin I well may fear.
Since GoJ Almighty is so near.

Daily work we find to do ;
Scattered gleanings we may gather,
Though we are but young and few :
Little clusters'
Help to fill the garners, too.

Catching moments through the day.
Nothing small or lowly scoinmg,
So along our path we stray ;
Gathering gladly
Free-will oft'enngs by the way.

Not for objects nolhini< worth —
But to send the blessed story
Of the Gospel o'er tlie earth —
'Telling mortals

Till m death our lips are dumb;
Or till — sin's dominion falling —
Christ shall, in his kingdom, come.

Heavenly Father, may we be ;
And f»rever, and forever,
We will give the praise to thee.

Glorious in his works and ways.
Ye are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod ;
They are happy now, and ye

You near Jesus' throne shall rest ;
There your seats are now prepared,

Only thou our Leader be.

Crowns that never fade away,
Gird and deck the saints in light,
Priest* and kings and conquerors tti«y.
2. Yet the conquerors bring their palms
To the Lamb amidst the throne,
And proclaim, in joyful psalms.
Victory through his cross alone.
3. Kings for harps their crowns resign.
Crying, as they strike the chords,
" Take the kingdom — it is thine,
King of kings, and Lord of lords!"
4. Who are these 7 — on earth they dwelt.
Sinners once of Adam's race :

1. While, with ceaselcBS course, the sun
Hasted through the former year.
Many souls their race have run,
Never more to meet us here.
Fixed in thsir eternal state,
They have dune with all below;
We a little longer wait :
But how little, none can know.
2. As the winged arrow fl;es.
Speedily the mark to (iiid ;
As the lightning, from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind:—
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream ;
Upward. Lord, our spirits raise ;
All below is but a dream.
3. Thanks for mercies past, receive,
Pardon of our sins renew ;
Teach us henceforth how to live
With eternity in view.
Bless thy word to young and old ;
Fill us with a Saviour's love ;
And, when life's short tale is told.
May we dwell with thee above.

1. Mary, to tlie Saviour's tomb.
Hasted at the early dawn ;
Spice she brought, and sweet perf^iHie,
But the Lord she loved had gone.
For awhile she lingering stood.
Filled with sorrow and surprise ;
Trembling, while a crystal flood
Issued from her weeping eyes.
2. But her sorrows quickly fled,
When she heard his welcome voice;
Christ had risen from the dead ;
Now he bids her heart rejoice :
What a change his word can make.
Turning darkness into day !
Ye who weep for Jesus' sake.
He will wipe your tears away

Of the cross, of the croas,
In nothing else my soul shall glory,
Save the cross, save the cross.
Yes, this my constant theme shall be,
Through time and in eternity.
That Jesus suffered d-eath for me
Ou the cross, on the cross.

To the cross, to the cross.
Let every Christian come nnd sing,
Round the cross, round the cross.

Working with all our might,
While life glides away.

Our humbler prayer accepting,
Grant us the grace to spend our days
In joy, peace and love ;
And when the scenes of life are o'er.
Then take us to yon heavenly shore.

1. TnE year has fioirn, and we again
In festive joys together meet ;
And oil, TO siDK a sweeter strain

When first we felt the Saviour's power.

tho clustering stars of evening shine.
The light of truth upon our eyes
Has shone with beams of grace divine-;

And brought us to the heavenly stream
Where " living waters" ever gleam,
Blessed light, blessed light.
Still guide us to its waters bright.

That love and zeal shall ne'er grow cool;

3. Ah, little children, learn of us
That life must pass away,
That all the lovely things of earth
Must perish and decay.
Learn from us not to lore too well

But seek, and ever strive to gain
Tb' riches that have no wings. ,

4. Such riches, children; you will find
In love, in faith, and prayer,
In looking toward your heavenly home.
Placing your treasure there.
In deeds of charity to all
You hare the power to bless :
These, when all earthly powers fail,
Will bring you happiness.
